Famous quotes containing the word strange:

—Charles Horton Cooley (18641929)
“But the effort, the effort! And as the marrow is eaten out of a mans bones and the soul out of his belly, contending with the strange rapacity of savage life, the lower stage of creation, he cannot make the effort any more.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Now could I, Casca, name to thee a man
Most like this dreadful night,
That thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars
As doth the lion in the Capitol
A man no mightier than thyself or me
In personal action, yet prodigious grown
And fearful, as these strange eruptions are.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
